Ethylatropine Bromide as a Peripherally Restricted Muscarinic Antagonist.
ACS Chemical Neuroscience 2017 April 20
Quaternary ammonium analogues of atropine that are unable to cross the blood-brain barrier are used to alleviate peripheral muscarinic toxicity in animal models of epilepsy produced by systemic administration of pilocarpine or diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP). Currently, methylatropine is the most popular and potent of these quaternary derivatives; however, it is expensive and produced in limited quantity. Here, we propose the use of ethylatropine bromide as an alternative to methylatropine. The synthesis of ethylatropine bromide is simple, inexpensive and has low environmental impact. We demonstrate the efficacy of ethylatropine bromide to antagonize the carbachol induced rise in intracellular calcium in a calcium mobilization assay, and its ability to prevent pilocarpine-induced total fluid secretions in mice without blocking pilocarpine-induced seizures. The ease of synthesis, cost effectiveness, and efficacy makes ethylatropine bromide a desirable alternative to methylatropine as a peripherally restricted acetylcholine receptor antagonist.
